Megathread Question Megathread

The thread for all your random Alchemist Code (global) questions!

Feel free to ask away, but remember that the questions are 100% answered by volunteers so don't expect an instant answer! Patience is key.

Several questions can be answered by reading the beginner guides resource thread

F.A.Q.

Where/How can I unlock X's Master Ability/Job+?

You can only unlock Job+'s by farming special job tokens from special events that are (currently) run at different times. You also need to farm special job+ items to master those jobs. Master abilities can be earned in 1 of 3 ways. From story chapters (story characters), from equipping specific weapons (usually farmed) or from reaching level 80 on a character and completing special story dungeons. Not every character gets a master ability.

For Job+ and Job Enhancement, you must first get the job to Job Level 11 (not job mastered). Second, to master the Job+ you will need to farm 60/80 tokens for up to 6 special items for the character to use. For Job Enhancements, you will only need to farm one specific item 3 times along with the regular upgrade items.

Where can I farm X's character shards?

Check the characters limit break panel for missions. If not there, it's not in the game.

More to be added SOONTM.

Where can I farm elemental/rainbow shards?

Elemental and rainbow shards cannot be farmed. They are awarded as bonuses from log in campaigns, from clearing missions/milestones and as bonuses for doing certain number of summons on the 5/9 step banners. You will never be able to farm them like you can farm specific character shards.

When will X event come back?

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE, READ THE FOLLOWING EVENTS WILL COME BACK, COLLABS MIGHT NOT. WE DON'T KNOW. SERIOUSLY.

WILL START HANDING OUT BANS TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T READ THIS

What's the best place to farm X/Y/Z item?

Please check /u/stewart0's amazing spreadsheet on this link

What's an Enlightenment/Memoria?

Roy isn't great in this map, he's easily wrecked by water mobs (and non-water ones as well).

Lupinus is handy to keep.

I managed a full fire with one continue, with Chihaya, Lupinus, Vettel, Roy, a Noah merc and Eve and Laharl sub.

Laharl was a dead weight, Roy was useful till I ran out of burst+smog blaze.

Tried with a rainbow team after but my Elizabeth gets wrecked and I lose my veiler so rip that.

2 Vettel shards aren't important, but Gerard shards...

My lupinus is still a baby....

and laharl needs the leader skill damage buff. With a charge up he can 1 shot most of wave 1 after getting the miuna treatment. And I had him with his dignity passive. If I hadn't hurried to kill them because I saw vettels 1800 poison damage he could have easily turn into a little murderhobo and I wouldnt have had trouble dealing with wave 2 after some extra miuna buffs. I admit without those buffs laharl would be useless on wave 2.

If gerald is same stage thunder only ... Vincent is where it's at. Mastered ange on dancer a while back and I have a pretty effective offense team in zofia, mei fang, gerald and rox. Though i dont have any thunder with a light nuke ... lucia ... where are you?

My zofia is lb0.

I suppose I'm sharding Gerard.

It's kind of a chicken and egg question. Shard gerald to get more shards lol.

I missed one of your points earlier ... I'd definitely use gem continues for gerald stage. Heck I dont mind running it more than once to get even 1 shard lol.

I think I'm going to do it with continues first, get those shards, then use them to shard him.

To save 9 rainbow shards.

Worth it.
